We recommend an awning for summer outdoor afternoon lounging. There are giant shade trees with a bench and hammock by the creek or picnic area about 200 feet away. RVs are required to have their own on-board bathroom. There are not external bathroom facilities available. RV spaces do have water, sewer and power hookups. For local TV reception in Marysvale some RVs need an antenna amplifier. Most late model RVs have an amplifier built in to their system but you have to enable it. You may want to bring some firewood for the firepits. Don’t forget to bring charcoal lighter fluid to help start your campfire.
The retreat is full of wild song birds including hummingbirds. We recommend that you bring a hummingbird feeder and sugar water. We guarantee that the little hummers will find it and keep you entertained for hours from May to mid-September.
Our wireless internet network reaches the RV area with two or three bars. You can bring your laptop to the office porch table and connect to the wireless network for full 5 bar service.
